I find it interesting that in this age of big data for sale, you can purchase a mailing list and up to 30% of the houses won't be on the list, and up to 5% will come back undeliverable.

I think the information is still heavily based on landline phone records, and that data is fast becoming useless. The next big source is probably property sale records.

But if I take a mailing list and sort it by street, then drive that street, it's amazing how many potential customers we are missing.

Out in the country, we get the people with no mail receptacle, they have a PO box in town. And with just a cellphone, they stay somewhat invisible. Perhaps on purpose, to avoid debt collectors and process servers and ex spouses.

Switchboard allows you to lookup by address, but it must be a complete
address.

We live on a private road with 9 homes total on it.  About half of them
come up with legitimate residences.  The other half are "not found".  One
had the actual residents, and a couple of other names that came from outer
space (no one I've ever heard of).

When I mapped the address, it was only off by 2 or 3 miles.

This used to be out there somewhere.  I could put in a street name under
"reverse lookup" or "address lookup" and i'd get names of everyone on a
street - as well as age.

Looked about 15 minutes last night, couldn't find it.  Really need it
again....something like intellus, or whitepages.com, or something like
that....

anyone?  anyone? :)
